Minibus Drivers

Hello again!
Are you over 20+1 and have had a clean drivers licence for at least 2 years? Then you could drive the minibus!!

There's more information and a link to the application form here: http://warwicksport.warwick.ac.uk/officer/transport/minibusassessments/ 

There's a lecture this Thursday at 4:30 in SO.21, you have to attend a lecture before you can take the test. Even if you're not 21 yet you can go to the lecture and take the test when you've turned 21 (as long as its within 12 months of the lecture)

Being a minibus driver will mean you get priority on club trips, if it wasn't for the drivers then the trips couldnt go ahead!

Also if you're 20 and have a clean drivers licence then you could drive the van, ask one of the members of the exec about it as driving the van is great practice for taking on the minibus!

Hello everyone!
Hope you all had a nice christmas and didn't miss the canoe club too much. If you did then we're here to help, we're running our REFRESHERS trip the weekend of week 2 (Friday 17th Jan - Sunday 19th Jan) and will cost between £35 and £40.

This trip is suitable for everyone, if you came on every trip last term and want to improve or if you didn't get a chance to make any trips in term 1 and want to get involved then come and get involved!

Its taking place in Darmoor where we will be staying in a Scout Hut for the weekend and paddling the River Dart. If you're wanting to come on Scotland Tour you will need to have come on a trip with us, and this is one of the last (and best) opportunities before Easter!

Sign up will go live at 4pm on Wednesday week 1 (8th) and will close on Sunday (12th) and you can expect your confirmation email on Monday week 2. Its first come first serve as always so make sure you sign up quickly!

Lots of small welsh love

Montane Jackets

Hello All!

 
As some of you may have heard, every year we order montane jackets. Here is the link:http://www.montane.co.uk/range/men/extreme/extreme-smock
 
You can have them in multiple colours, red, black or green, and they will have your name on the front and the Warwick canoe logo on the back. As you can see they will be great for keeping warm on trips, and you will no longer have to feel jealous of older members swanning around in their jackets. 
 
The cost will be 79 pounds, which is less than last year, and quite cheap considering they cost over 100 quid normally. 
 
In order to get the cheaper deal, we need over ten people. So please get interested folks! If you want one of these there is a sign up online now at http://warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/trips/trip/295/. To select what size and colour you want please put that in the medical conditions section of the sign up. We are aiming to have the jackets arrive at some point next term so the order will be being placed at the end of week one next term so please make sure to sign up before then if you want one. 
 
See you all at christmas dinner! (and if not I wish you a happy studying session)

Due to numbers we are no longer going to harvester and laser quest, instead we will be going Leamington for food and film. The plan is get to Benjamin Satchwells at 6:30pm then head to Vue cinema on Portland Place at 20:00 to watch Gravity 3D . I'd suggest buying tickets online here: http://booking.myvue.com/home/my-tickets/cinema/leamington-spa/uid/01a5cfe201/si/8142
